Watch Boston Celtics Vs. Golden State Warriors Live Stream: 54-Game Home Win Streak On Line For Warriors
The high-scoring Boston Celtics invade Oracle Arena, where they will try to stop the Golden State Warriors who are on an incredible 54 game home-court winning streak in a game that will stream live on Friday; a game that will take every ounce of defensive effort that the visiting Celtics can summon up.
Scoring points has not been an issue for the Celtics this season. They come into the Friday game at Golden State leading the Eastern Conference at 105.6 points per game, which also places them fifth overall in the NBA.
Golden State, whose 68-7 record puts them on a pace to shatter the record of 72 wins in a season held by the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls, lead the whole National Basketball Association in scoring with a remarkable 115.1 points per game. So there seems little doubt that fans in Oakland, or who watch the live stream of Celtics vs. Warriors, will be treated to a free-flowing, high-scoring affair.
But on the other end of the court, the Celtics surrender a mediocre 102.3 per game, while the Warriors — whose defense is not their strongest suit either — give up 104.1.When the two teams met on December 11, Golden State had, at that point, won their first 23 games of the season, setting an NBA record for a season-opening undefeated streak. But the Celtics gave the Warriors all they could handle that night in Boston, finishing regulation tied at 103 then taking Golden State to double overtime before finally coming up short, 124-119 in what still ranks as one of the most memorable NBA games of this season.
